Also, Mike made a statement about 2 open spots for silicone tail orders :

Wowza. I like that dorsal. It looks like he's colored a few scales differently, too? Pretty cool. Even though I'm not particularly fond of his flukes, I do love the paint job on this one. The purple spots and the light pink edge is very pretty and cutesy.
I think it looks really great! The seems (if there even are any) are almost invisible, and the fade from the scales into the fluke is really clean. I really like how the extra fins look. They look fleshy, and the color "ombre" is nice.
I started crying when I read the post about the 2 spots that opened up, my brother and sister-in-law had problems with their electricity and they received a bill that they simply couldn't pay so I decided to lent them the money but now I don't have any money to afford my dream tail, and the discount on the Advanced tail!!!! It was perfect!!!! I quess it 's not ment to be...
Love the color scheme but I would like the side fins to be a lighter pink fading into black at the ends
I'm sorry to hear that, Celine. I didn't mean to send you bad news. I guess it was just bad timing :(Quote:

You know, I'm not really an MVD fan, but I really like this tail, and I would say that his quality has gone up since I last looked at his tails.
I absolutely love this tail!! Mike is one hell of an artist and I LOVE his work!!
Celine, I'm so sorry :( it's really hard when you do the right thing and then a great opportunity pops up. It's really kind of you to help your brother :) hopefully mike will have an opportunity like this again soon!
Celine, I'm sorry!
But you know, I've found when I get shut out of what looked like a good opportunity, later, an even better one comes along! Fins crossed the same happens for you!
I like MVD stuff and love the fact that he lives so close to me. But after all the shanfoo of people trying to get his tails and him only making things for higher up mermaids, I just wonder why he tells us that he has 2 spots available? I'm not being hateful towards Mike....I love him :) but from what I understand he only makes tails and such for mermaids like hannah, melissa, and such and doesn't really do much for us under-folk.
I know what you mean I had to give my husband the money because he took out a loan without telling me.Quote:

Big huggs voming your way Celine! :hugg:
And as said here before: I love his work, but he seems so unreachable! You only see his work on commercial clients.

I can almost gaurentee that tail is for melissa. The seams dont show on her tails because he has a body mold of her.
Hahaha! That's perfect!Quote:

Even though the last one he did for melissa was wonderfully crafted I absolutely HATED the colors (just my personal opinion so no one attack me). The fins and scales are so clean and crisp and the color scheme is to die for.
